Fixing Bad Superhero Movies | How We’d Save Spider-Man 3, Dark Phoenix & More!

November 07, 2025

The SuperHero Homies are back — and this week, we’re doing what Hollywood couldn’t: fixing bad superhero movies! From Superman Returns to X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, we take on some of the most disappointing comic book films ever made and reimagine them with just a few smart changes.


But first, we kick things off with a 30-minute cold open packed with gaming and pop culture talk! We discuss which games might win Video Game of the Year (with Expedition 33 as a top contender), why live service games usually fail, and whether politics belong in art and entertainment. We dive deep into how storytelling, messaging, and creative freedom shape the worlds we love — from comics to cinema.


Then it’s time to fix some bad superhero movies — with three simple rules:

1️⃣ The movie must stay in its cinematic universe timeline (no reshuffling releases).

2️⃣ You can’t remove actors, directors, or characters — but you can add new ones.

3️⃣ The core premise must stay the same — no total reboots.


With those limits in place, we prove that even within Hollywood’s restrictions, these movies could’ve been way better. We share how we’d improve character arcs, pacing, tone, and storytelling in Superman Returns, X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga, Spider-Man 3, and more!


????️ Whether you love superhero movies, comic books, or creative storytelling, this is one of our most fun and thought-provoking episodes yet!
